Era: Retired from the army at the beginning and returned home - Chapter 52 Fever got cold halfway

“As for Soldier, it’s because I saw a soldier when I was giving birth to him.”

Luo Cheng continued to ask, it’s really interesting how people choose names these days. His family’s names are all normal, but many people choose some cheap names, saying that they can make a living with cheap names, such as dogs, tigers, oxen, etc.

There is one saying that a bad name makes a living, and there is another saying, that is, I used to believe in ghosts, saying that ghosts like to pursue children, especially children whose parents dote on them. The more doting children are, the more ghosts like to attack them. If a child’s name is cheap and unpleasant, it means that the parents don’t like it and are indifferent to the child, and the ghosts will stop playing tricks on the child.

“Soldier? Hey, it has nothing to do with being a soldier. It’s just that when your mother gave birth to him, your grandma made some pancakes. Your mother had just given birth and had no appetite to eat. So I went to eat a few. Then you Mom complained, saying that she didn’t even look at the baby carefully after she was born, and just ate it with pancakes. A baby is not as important as pancakes, so your mother gave him a nickname of pancakes. When he gets older, he changes it to Bing. Well, it sounds nicer.”

Come on, Luo Cheng understands. Because he is the eldest son and the family values ​​him, he still thought of a meaningful word for his name. The names of the other ones are exactly the same as my own system, and they are suitable for the place.

In the evening, it was still sweet potato porridge. Before the rations were distributed in the brigade, sweet potato porridge and steamed buns were basically eaten like this every day. Most people in rural areas couldn’t afford it.

Because everyone just ate steamed buns, we didn’t make steamed buns, and Luo Cheng didn’t like eating that either. Two bowls of sweet potato porridge is enough. If it is later, everyone will have to eat meat. I have cut a piece of meat and minced it. I will steam the meat cake soup for grandma to eat later. And they didn’t bother, just cut a piece for each person, the portions were all about the same, then sprinkled some salt on it and steamed it. At that time, each person has a piece of meat and eats it with soy sauce.

There isn’t much soy sauce at home, but Luo Cheng just happened to bring a bottle, so even if he runs out, he doesn’t have to make more soy sauce.

Luo Cheng had never tasted such a simple method. It seemed like it was plain meat dipped in sauce, but the only sauce was soy sauce. If you have some pickled vegetables and some seasonings, you can make braised pork with pickled vegetables.

So after everyone ate sweet potato porridge, it got dark, and they lit kerosene lamps, and the whole family was chatting happily again. Luo Cheng has such a high-paying job, and our family will have someone to rely on no matter what happens in the future. And Luo Cheng didn’t realize that since the afternoon when Luo Cheng asked his father Luo Wen and his younger brother to wash their hands before eating steamed buns, the whole family had actually made the decision and obeyed him.

However, Luo Cheng will go to the city in two days. His housing must be settled first and his work must be arranged. He cannot stay at home for too long. After Luo Cheng left, his father Luo Wen was still the head of the family. When Luo Cheng was around, he took a back seat.

When the night got a little darker, many people closed their doors and started to sleep. The meat has just been cooked. Even so, the door in the kitchen is closed, trying not to let the smell escape.

The process of cooking and eating meat went smoothly, probably because he knew that Luo Cheng had a good job, and this wine would allow his son to honor him in the future. Father Luo Wen was a little bourgeois for a while, and poured another glass of wine. The meat dipped in soy sauce is also a good dish to drink with wine. There is wine and meat, so drink slowly and eat slowly.

After eating meat dipped in soy sauce and having a glass of fine wine, I, the emperor, am not as good as me~~~.

After chatting and eating meat that day, Luo Cheng and his sisters washed up and went back to their rooms. The father didn’t need to pay attention to it. He just had a small glass of wine and a piece of meat. He ate it slowly and carefully, and he had to eat it for as long as he wanted.

Because of eating meat, I went to bed later than usual today. Even if the two sisters got the cotton gauze they wanted, they were not too happy to fall asleep. They fell asleep not long after lying on the bed.

Luo Cheng also lay on the bed, listening to the sound of insects coming from outside the house, and fell asleep unconsciously.

I don’t know how long I slept, but in my daze I seemed to hear footsteps coming from outside the house, and then voices. It was the voice of Bingzi. Luo Cheng did not wake up and continued to sleep again.

The next day, early in the morning, the weather seemed to be a little cooler again. The two sisters got up first. They planned to use scissors to cut the cotton gauze to the size they needed this morning. The cloth Luo Cheng bought was one foot two wide and had to be cut right in the middle. But when they quoted it as five feet long, they all quoted a little more for fear that they would not be able to wrap it twice if they bought less.

So they don’t plan to cut it all the way to the middle, but just go around the body twice to see how much more can be made, and then cut it. This leaves a larger piece of cloth. Can be used to make other things.

My mother also got up early. She is going back to her mother’s house this morning to bring about three taels of meat and toffee.

When Luo Cheng woke up and went outside to wash up, he found his brother Luo Bing and his father Luo Wen talking in the corridor under the eaves.

“Bingzi, why are you back? What happened yesterday?”

Luo Cheng asked curiously. They were pushing a trolley to the city. When they got to the city, they had to go to a relatively central hospital. It would take a hundred and fifty miles to go back and forth. That is about 75 to 80 kilometers, and a normal person only walks about five kilometers in an hour. Even if people in this era have strong legs and can walk fast, the carts are used to push people, not lift them. It’s impossible to come back so early. I seemed to hear Luo Bing coming back last night. It didn’t look like a dream.

“Hey, I was talking to Dad about this. Yesterday, the boy was not even delivered halfway. The boy from Bald’s family had a fever, but he slowly started to feel cold. The snake venom must have been bled but not released, and his face was all blue. Yes, it was scary. Later, Uncle Bald Zi said forget it, so we pushed it back. The dead snake was also given to Bald Zi’s family, and we don’t know if it will be cooked or eaten or thrown away.”

These days, it is normal for people to die because of their own strange things. Not to mention being bitten by a venomous snake, you may have a fever or a cold and then go away. So even if they met Bald Man, Luo Bing and his father Luo Wen were already used to it, and there was no sadness or sigh.

But Luo Cheng was stunned for a moment, a life was lost like this, a human life was exchanged for a snake just because he couldn’t bear to take a bite of meat.

Luo Cheng was the only one who made breakfast when he was at home. Mainly because he saw Luo Cheng buying breakfast last time, so he didn’t ask and didn’t need to say anything. After that, Luo Cheng would make sweet potato porridge or something when he was at home, and everyone would eat it together.

As soon as breakfast was eaten, my father and brother left first. They didn’t call it porridge at all. It wasn’t even cold, so they drank it in their mouths.

My mother followed closely with her things and went to her parents’ house. The two sisters also went back to the room to do some shameful things. Even grandma put on new cloth shoes and didn’t know what she was doing with her needle and thread.

Only Luo Cheng, the most leisurely one, had nothing to do. But Luo Cheng thought about it, and he could sign in again today, so he walked around outside and found a suitable place to sign in.
